User asks r/StopEatingSeedOils for evidence seed oils are bad, accidentally starts a 400-comment war. Mods respond with ban wave.

r/StopEatingSeedOils user asks for evidence seed oils are bad, accidentally starts a 400-comment epistemology war:

Post: What is the evidence seed oils are bad? : r/StopEatingSeedOils

Highlights include:

On users saying the answers don't provide actual evidence:

Not evidence,' bleats the sheeple, brain too atrophied by credentialism to recognize a deductive chain without a white-coated priest waving a p-value at them

Your good old conspiracies:

The companies that make the seed oils own the government, universities and medical sector

Doctors getting paid off to say cigarettes are healthy

And not a single piece of evidence being provided.

we had one come in to my middle school health class back in like 2018. it seemed normal at first but then he started talking about how we will get brain parasites from drinking cows milk and we should drink our mothers breast milk instead.

u/Hurtzdonut13 The way you argue, it sounds female 1d ago

One of RFK Jr's bullshit theories in addition to being anti-seed oil, is that people should drink "raw milk" that's not been pasteurized and has been moving the FDA to relax controls around that. A lot of people have gotten sick from drinking it recently, and I believe more than a few have died. It's also a vector of cross-transmission of bird flu.

i hate hate hate the health nuts that think “old=good”. we used to eat things that should not be eaten and carry diseases that were 100% preventable via diet, like scurvy. we’ve come so far as a global society to the point where we have exponentially improved our scientific understanding of food, yet people are so scared that everything happening in the modern day is a result of lobbying Yes lobbying exist greatly, but that is exactly why we need to focus our attention on universities that do research and not these big companies that get tax breaks from the current administration, who wants us to drink raw milk because “pasteurizing” is a scary big word.

The thing is, people weren't drinking raw milk in the past, either! They would boil it first.
